To find the hypotenuse of a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. In this case, both legs of the triangle are 18 inches long. So, using the formula c^2 = a^2 + b^2, where c represents the hypotenuse and a and b are the other two sides, we get c^2 = 18^2 + 18^2. Solving this equation gives us c^2 = 648, and taking the square root of 648 gives us c ≈ 25.46 inches. Therefore, the hypotenuse of a triangle with legs of 18 inches each is approximately 25.46 inches.

If you divide length of the opposite side of an angle in a right triangle by the length of the hypotenuse what value do you get?
You get the sine of the angle. For a right triangle: sin (x) = opposite/hypotenuse cos (x) = adj./hypotenuse tan (x) = opposite/adj
If 45- 45- 90 triangle has a hypotenuse of length 18 units What is the length of one of the legs?
If a 45- 45- 90 triangle has a hypotenuse of length 18 units, the length of both of the other legs is: 12.73 units.
How do you find the hypotenuse of an equilateral triangle?
You can't as there is no hypotenuse in an equilateral triangle. The hypotenuse is the side of a triangle which is opposite a right angle (90°); all angles in an equilateral triangle are 60°.
What is the length of in the right triangle below with legs of 18 and 80?
Using Pythagoras' theorem for a right angle triangle its hypotenuse is 82 units in length
What is the hypotenuse of a triangle with legs of 8 and 10?
The hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of 8 and 10 is: 12.81
